uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #176898

Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: (1) The speed limit sign on S. Swain Ave. posts a 30mph limit between University and E. 2nd St. This is a block with 3 houses in an area with 25mph. It would make more sense to make it consistent. (2) This evening another deer almost got hit at the intersection of S. Swain Ave. and E. 2nd St. Drivers speed on E. 2nd St. between the stop signs on Jordan and Mitchell. To make it safer, a stop sign should be placed at this intersection. At the very least, a Deer Crossing sign. I've lived here 5 years and it's been a constant concern.

constituent emailed the following: thanks for submitting this uReport and I'm sorry for the delayed response (not sure if anyone has already contacted you). I believe the 30mph speed limit sign has now been replaced with a 25mph speed limit sign. We do not install new Deer Crossing signs because national guidance indicates that they do not have any benefit. We also do not intend to install all-way stop control at the intersection of 2nd-Swain. Stop signs are generally not an appropriate measure for attempting to reduce speeding along a corridor, and an all-way stop would not be desirable due to the relatively low volumes on Swain. Thanks and please feel free to follow up with any questions,

Thank you for your UReport. Crews have changed the speed limit sign to City Standard Limit. 2: We no longer put up deer crossing signs per Traffic Manager.

It sounds like Street Dept. shoud make sure speed limit signs are consistent and that Engineering should take a look at the request for a stop sign.
